Leicestershire has a big Asian-origin community, but you wouldn't know that if you saw its county team

| Leicestershire
Leicester epitomises the diversity of modern Britain. It is on the verge of becoming the UK's first "majority non-white" city, and at 28.3% possesses the highest percentage of British Indians. Yet Leicestershire's county cricket side struggles to be representative of its area: of the squad of 20 professionally contracted players, only two are from British Asian backgrounds.
It has been difficult to turn promising British Asians into established professionals. Of the eight British Asian players from former academy intakes at Leicester since 2003-04, only one - Shiv Thakor, the current England U-19 captain - has subsequently earned a county contract. The comparable figure for non-Asians was ten out of 25. And of the nine players in the Leicestershire academy today, only one is a British Asian. The picture in age-group cricket is much more balanced but those cricketers have yet to show they can make the grade.
Leicestershire is hardly a county that can afford to miss players. While it has produced England players in recent years, talents including Stuart Broad, James Taylor and Luke Wright all moved away from Leicestershire early in their careers. Neither, as a county that attracts some of the smallest crowds in the country, can it afford to lose a potential additional audience drawn by a proven commitment to developing cricketers in predominantly Asian areas in the inner cities. It is these issues that the ECB, with the help of the Club Cricket Conference, is seeking to address in a new undertaking in five England cities, Leicester included.
Reaching out
At the grassroots, there are always rumblings of discontent. Mahesh Mistry, the club secretary of the Shree Prajapati Association Cricket Club, asserts that the county had not been "very proactive" in reaching out to cricket clubs. "I haven't seen a lot of information about 'Leicestershire county cricket club are here to help you or do this or that.' There's a lot more that could be done. The structure itself seems to be very closed and exclusive - rather than involving everybody."
Mistry, who has been playing cricket in Leicestershire for 27 years, believes that the process by which talented young cricketers are identified by the county lacks transparency. "If you know people in certain clubs, that's how you can get in. If we had players of a reasonable standard at a lower level I don't know if people are interested in getting them in - it just seems that Leicestershire themselves are very removed from what's happening elsewhere. They don't seem to be reaching out to all parts. Nobody's ever gone down to our club and scouted anybody. The kids who've actually gone on to play for the colts have done it via schools and parents knowing certain people".
Rubin Sthankiya, secretary and treasurer at Belgrave Cricket Club, expresses a similar concern. "The Asian kid may be good - he can score a hundred in park cricket. But a hundred in league cricket will be viewed differently. If you've got an Asian kid who wants to look up and think, 'Which feeder system do I go through, which is the best academy' - there isn't one."
"If you say your favourite sport is cricket, you'd think you might come and watch county cricket here, but it doesn't happen. I think their favourite sport is Indian cricket, so a game between Leicestershire and Derbyshire doesn't make them want to go and cross the road to watch it" Mike Siddall, Leicestershire chief executive | |||
Leicestershire is well aware of difficulties reaching out to the Asian community. Mike Siddall, the Leicestershire chief executive, says, "I've given a lot of thought to it but it just isn't easy. There is a real problem in engaging the local Asian community to become involved with this county cricket club. But it's the same for the football club and the same for the rugby club as well."
Under Siddall's tenure as chief executive, steps have been taken to increase the appeal of Leicestershire to Asian communities - notably cutting ticket prices for Under-16s for all T20s from £8 to £1. Mistry praises this decision. "I've noticed that Leicestershire county cricket club have provided student tickets and discounted prices, so that's been quite useful."
However, Siddall expresses frustration that, although Leicestershire's game against the touring Indians in 2011 was a sell-out, it has proved difficult to translate that enthusiasm into attendances at county games. "If you say your favourite sport is cricket, you'd think you might come and watch county cricket here, but it doesn't happen. I think their favourite sport is Indian cricket, so a game between Leicestershire and Derbyshire doesn't make them want to go and cross the road to watch it."
It is legitimate to ask how this could change. Sthankiya says that "attitudes and views are changing" and that notions of an Asian glass ceiling existing in cricket are being eroded. However, "it's difficult to say" whether second and third generation Asians are developing more attachment to the county club, Sthankiya believes.
There is a disconnection between Asian and non-Asian cricket in Leicester, Keith Webster, secretary of Leicester Electricity Sports Club, says. Although his club has significant numbers of both Asian and non-Asian players, Webster says it is an exception. "Clubs in the city tend to be either Asian or white. In the city itself, a lot of Asians have tended to run their own teams and not have proper grounds - they tend to be park sides - and not play in the main league."
The ECB's strategy of directing funds towards clubs with good structures is understandable - it is designed to avoid waste and help clubs with thriving junior sections - but it may be having an adverse effect on park cricket sides, which tend to feature a large number of Asian players. "The biggest get bigger and the weakest fall by the wayside," says Webster. "I think we will see a trend of some of the park-based Asian teams folding."
Webster is also concerned about the cost of playing and organising park cricket. "[It often costs] £10 per player per game or more. People can't afford that." The quality of pitches in park cricket is another problem. "The better grounds are taken up by other clubs," says Mistry.
Leicester's Asian talent
But despite the difficulties, British Asian talent is emerging from Leicestershire. Offspinner Jigar Naik was the first Leicester-born Asian to represent the county, and has developed a solid career; Samit Patel largely came up through the Nottinghamshire system but was born in Leicester. So too was Thakor, who excelled in his six championship matches for Leicestershire last season.
While stressing that he experienced no problems himself, Thakor is well placed to talk about the difficulties aspiring Asian cricketers face. "You see a lot of young Asian lads coming through age-group cricket and obviously as they go up they filter out and there's less and less that make it through."
Leicestershire head coach and academy coach Phil Whitticase attributes the drop-off rate to "various reasons - performance, fitness, and also to a degree some parental guidance in regard to academic education".
Thakor is atypical in that he received a scholarship to board at Uppingham School for five years. But he says that he's aware of the situation in state schools. "A lot don't play cricket themselves and it's something that needs to be worked on. I know there's a huge emphasis on grassroots cricket and I'm trying to get involved as much as I can here, going in to schools and helping out to coach."
Unsurprisingly, elite private schools are disproportionately well represented in the Leicestershire team - apart from Thakor at Uppingham, Josh Cobb and Matt Boyce attended Oakham School, as did Stuart Broad. However, Webster believes this may change. Private school domination "used to be the case in rugby union, particularly in this part of the world - to get good coaching, and all the support and encouragement, players had to go to the likes of Oakham. Players now don't have to go to public school to get the coaching - that will now happen with cricket."
Positive steps
Leicestershire county has made important progress in its dealings with the British Asian community. Shahid Sheikh joined the club's board of directors in 2011, the first British Asian to be invited.
The work county players - including Thakor and Naik - do in state schools is increasing, while some senior players, most notably Matthew Hoggard, have been involved with Chance to Shine, the charity that seeks to increase opportunity by forging links between clubs and State schools that lack cricket facilities or expertise.
There are also encouraging signs in the make-up of some of Leicestershire's youth squads. Eleven of the 26 players in Leicestershire's U-16 and U-17 squads are from ethnic minorities, as are nine out of 37 players currently enrolled in the England Development programme at Loughborough, which covers the 16-19-year-old age range.
But the real challenge - and the historic failing - is ensuring that these players become professional cricketers at the same rate as non-Asians.

I think not Hoya, maybe Ceropegia & likely sandersonii. Perhaps search some pix & see if it matches your plants. |
YEEEEY!!!! BINGO!!! Thank you SO MUTCH!!!! I wish you the best plants in the world! Amazing! You must know well the plants. |
Great job with the ID PG!! I had no idea what it was,lol...just knew it wasn't a Hoya :o) |
Could be sandersonii, or it could be radicans. After many years of growing radicans, mine finally bloomed for the first time this summer... This is what the leaves look like, though it's not the best pic I ever took! Denise in Omaha P.S. I meant to add that you suspected it was a Hoya because they're in the same family - they're both Aslepiads. |
This post was edited by denise on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 11:20
Oh, it's really nice one, but as pirate_girl said it's Ceropegia Sandersonii, it has just simple leaves, your one looks more advanced. You are lucky in the states you have any kind of seeds and plants shipping free to buy. Here in Europe it's a bit tough and if you find something interesting it costs A LOT |

Very nice Dax! What's the story on the Betula uber? |
Pretty sweet that some of the those plants didn't miss a beat given their exposed locations. Looks like Picea orientalis still managed to burn for you. Keep the pics coming! Things are just starting to push out here...some further ahead than others. |

lovely =) Hi Robin. Long time. B.uber is similar to the Metasequoia story in that it was somewhat recently found and had been considered extinct. A very small band of trees was found along a river in North or South Carolina, I think. At the time I planted it in 2008, it really wasn't being allowed for propagation w/o a license and just about a year or some such thing, later, it was being offered from nurseries. Mine came from a friend whom at the time had a propagators license for them. ..You're welcome here anytime you'd like to visit. Whaas, I'm going to do a thread about Picea orientalis and Nordmann fir about mid-summer. I've been photographing them, sort of as a time lapse if you will. As I had stated a month or better ago, neither were "aesthetically-pleasing," but all are making a comeback. You'll be astonished just how horrible my orientalis seedlings appeared. I'll post more pics soon, thanks much. Dax |

That Tenysu-Kazu, aka Goldylocks has put on some strong growth. How old is that plant? Love how your little Griseum is already showing that beautiful trunk color. And the omorika 'Aurea' is also showing some strong growth. How old is it? Are you getting more than a foot per year out of it? I have a small 1 gallon one holding over to plant in the Fall. Need to place it properly if it grows very fast. And finally, congratulations on getting so far after literally starting from scratch. Transformation pictures are always nice to see. |

Great to see things coming along so nicely. Among lots of choice plants here, the P. glauca cultivars are the winners in my book. 'Burning Well', 'Ivan', and 'Blue Wonder' are looking mighty fine. This crew just marched onto my wish list. Dax, if memory serves I believe you did a thread last spring along the lines of "5 years of Picea omorika"...it would sure be a treat if you could update that in a few weeks when they're reaching the end of this year's flush. Alex |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b (My Page) on Mon, May 19, 14 at 17:11
Hi wanabg, I would have to say that Tenysu-kazu is a minimum of 10 years old. It was possibly 2-3 years old when Dennis Dodge sent it, likely. omorika 'Aurea' is putting on a good 12-15" annually. It was purchased locally in '07 in a 3-gallon I have written on the tag, so probably about 3' tall then. Right now it's 2 2/3's meters (6'8"). In 2008 I bought plugs from Heritage Seedlings of Acer griseum. They take a while but clearly worth the wait and, I get to watch them grow. Mike, -- you betcha. This may be a gorgeous piece of property someday. It's starting right now. I did Alex. I'm glad your memory stemmed that thought. I'll write a note to continue with that. I have 300 Picea abies understock to pot up. I wonder what I should graft for you? Dax |
You have made great strides with a very raw piece of land. Makes all the difference with the thought you've put into your plantings. Great photos and plants both. Cher |

Cher, not much thought went into it. Just a vision from plant to plant to plant......thank you. fair: I have a sprayer tank that works really well and it's towed with my mower. And I have a system of course of ribbon color that let's me know what was planted last year and this year or other specimens I believe need more water than two years I continue to ribbon those. Winter wind is something, you bet. So it is: spring, summer, & fall. petra: thank you so much. Dax |

Great stuff Dax! 'Ivan' & 'Barrie' are handsome fellows and 'Wendy' is a babe. Also really like 'Nanaimo', 'JM3C' & 'Cincinatta' Have you any recent shots of Abies nords 'Tortifolia' and 'Limelights'? |
Amazing as always. Especially love all the pungens and glaucas. Was happy to see the 'Derksen' update too. Thanks for the tour. Jeff |

How'd your breweriana do? I planted mine out and only had a handful make it through the winter, even though they were all under snow cover. Possibly dessication? Love that beech, man. |
Dax, I think your Nordmanns & other conifers suffered because they were not established yet. Once they get roots down deeper, cold shouldn't be a problem. |
Love the story of your land and plantings through your pictures Dax. I'd love to come see it in person one day. Keep the pictures coming! Love love LOVE that beech! |

- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b (My Page) on Fri, May 23, 14 at 8:54
John, I potted every breweriana and put them in my unheated hoophouse and they all died. During one of the coldest days of the winter I looked outside and saw the hoophouse was ripped to shreds. I had shingles fly off my home and rip the poly. I don't believe it was that single (overnight) event that killed them, however. I rushed and brought everything into my basement and placed them all on blankets, however I couldn't water. Lots of combinations of bad. That beech is an interesting character of a plant John and Robin. It's weeping. It's purple for a good amount of time then gradually turns green. Fall color is pretty decent. Beng: 100% agree. Our thoughts are precisely on the same page. Severn, they'll all return. It'll be five years until they look perfect again. Have a nice weekend everyone. Robin email me anytime for your guided tour :-) Dax |

Dax. Do you still have your pinus contorta var.latifolia 'Asher'? I'm interested in it's growth rate and form. Yours would be about 4-5 yrs old now? |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 14 at 19:19
Deer ate the leader off of it a couple years ago. What it looks like because I've seen an old grafted plant is a tree seedling. It just takes a long time to get there. If I was going to guess it grows 4" per year while it's juvenile, then the growth rate increases. Dax |

Wow!! I haven't even thought of landscaping..I am still taking in the beauty of the house and the surrounding views. I am very happy for you and your family. Congrats! At least you know gardens can be added to over time as money and circumstances permit, so don't feel too pressured to get it perfect right away. For me, the pleasure comes in the slow changes I make over time, always tweaking plants and combinations to suit the year's growth. Again, congrats and I hope you thoroughly enjoy every minute of that back deck... What a view! |

What a find! Congratulations on your new home! I recommend spending lots of time peering out of your windows and thinking about what you like in your views and what you would rather add to or cover. You want your house to sit beautifully in the landscape, but you can't overlook the importance of enjoying your garden from the inside of your home as well. Before making any design decisions take your time to see how you use the property, how the traffic flows, what spots are hotter or cooler, are there places you feel more or less comfortable, etc. I found it helpful to make various 'must have' and 'want to have' lists after looking at plenty of inspirational pictures. After that I had a landscape plan made up, but I remain flexible if I feel like something I originally wanted is not going to work. Patience can be the most challenging part, it would be nice to get it all done at once but by taking your time I think you'll be happier with the end result. |

OH MY ..., did you ever luck out, I've been around for a lot of years and my suggestion is to not jump into planting right away, move in, enjoy what you have, go through a summer, fall and winter before planning your beds. This way you can take into consideration things like wind etc., etc., etc.. That's not saying you couldn't have a holding bed for plants you know you want, see how they do there, this way you'll have more mature specimens when the time comes to plant and if they go belly up you'll know they aren't going to work. I'm a great believer in constructive staring, I can't tell you how many times the light bulb has come on while I've been doing this. Move in, relax, enjoy and dream of what's to come in your beautiful new home. Slow and sure is the way to go. Just a wee bit envious here, you lucky girl not many of us have such a beautiful blank canvas to work with. Annette |
Thank you for taking the time to look !! We are so grateful and very excited . I totally agree with you ravensfan , I want to take my time and do it right , and let it take it's course. I don't feel much pressure , but I do want to start in the right area. Peachy , did you have a plan professionally drawn up? Thanks to Pinterest I have some good inspiration . I think I want a pergola , my dh will build a pond somewhere , and I want a path going toward a sitting area by the lake. We have to get the land surveyed because I don't want to infringe on the lake owner property . After midnight , it is a great idea to enjoy a summer and fall and see how things are. I do have about 25 roses in pots that I can store in garage over winter if I have to . I am hoping to at least start one bed this fall , but we will see! If we have another rough winter I'm afraid I'll lose roses in pots again. I also plan on winter sowing a ton ! Thank you all for your well wishes and encouragement ! When we are in it I'll post more. First thing to do tho, is nice patio furniture for the deck! :) the rest can all wait .. |

Lily- Congrats! It's a beautiful house and land...and I'm so happy for you. Is that you sitting on the chair with the view? As for the yard, the good thing about patchy grass is that it will be easier to remove and replace with gardens! LOL Is the top soil very good? Sometimes a builder will just spread dirt over the area, without topsoil...and nothing wants to grow. That (hopefully) free manure could really come in handy. Definitely take your time planning! Do you still have the dogs? Where do you plan to have their area? Everywhere or only out back? That makes a difference on your design, too. I love the idea of a pergola...and a pond! Depending on the light and wind patterns, I would probably put the roses in the front and add some perennials and shrubs to give it a bit of a cottage feel...but a little more formal. That's where the grass paths can really help and give you a place to walk through the gardens and have a few benches to sit down and enjoy the fragrances! I would also put climbing roses on the pergola...you'll have a mild enough winter (normally) that they should do very well! I'm so excited for you! You have to give us updates and a lot more pictures :) |
Thanks lavenderlass!! I was so excited to share this with my cottage garden friends! I know you have given me some excellent ideas before and you have a similar backdrop . We have 2 dogs , ( our pug passed away , now we have a cavalier King Charles spaniel), and still have our trusty old bulldog! :) we will be fencing the yard for them , but Haven't decided how much yet.. No that's my friend on the porch , involved in her phone rather than the beauty around her ! Lol With a view in the back yard, I feel like the front yard is going to suffer! Lol |

Manure (especially horse) is great...but make sure it's aged! If your neighbor has a pile from last year, it would be really great for the garden. You will get weeds...but so worth it, to improve the soil. If you lived closer, I would definitely share! LOL My horses made a lot this winter...but the flowers are going to love it :) So sorry to find out your pug passed away, but great to see you still have your other dog...and a new one! I think you're right about the back yard and view getting most of the attention (how can they not?) but you could do something really special with the front. Maybe you could think about a potager? It might be fun to add a few veggies and herbs (even a bit of fruit) with all the roses and other flowers. I've always liked this picture! Sorry, I don't have the 'key' anymore, to show what each letter stands for...but I belive they're mostly herbs.
And this is nice, too :)
Boy ! Are you gonna have some fun ! Just gorgeous !!!!! |
Congratulations! It's a truly lovely house and an amazing view, well worth the wait IMO. Enjoy the planning and the planting. I'll echo the suggestion that you mostly live with it for a year before doing any extensive gardening both to see how you use the house and yard (where do you want views in all 4 seasons and are there views you want to block, what area makes sense for your dogs' outdoor space, are there weather considerations either for plant survival or to make the house more energy efficient that need to be accounted for in your planting schemes, how do you want to move around the property, etc.?) The yard looks large enough to offer you lots of flexibility in how you use it without being so large as to be overwhelming. What a wonderful opportunity for you. |
Wonderful! I'm so happy for you and know you will so enjoy this wonderful property and have fun planning how to landscape. I don't know much about improving lawn grass but know it takes a lot of work both to improve and maintain as have friends who spend several hours a week mowing on a ride-on. If you like it that's fine but it's not something I'd want to do so I would eliminate much of the grass. Since I'm a 'list-maker' I'd write down everything I wanted such as pergola, rose beds, perhaps veggie garden, pond, paths from here to there, fenced area for dogs, etc. I'd take measurements and make a plan to scale. I would also watch for areas of shade or partial shade if there are any. Don't rush this as it takes awhile to really see how best to site things. When you have more ideas you might hire a landscaper to do a plan. This does not have to be extremely expensive if they only do the plan and you then do the work yourselves over time. I hope you will keep us updated with pics on how this project progresses! |
Oh, LF! Did you ever luck out! Your home and land is absolutely stellar! I don't think I would ever leave that porch! Congratulations! I think everyone's idea about waiting is good. If I had to do it again, I probably would have considered how each part of my garden would relate to the next. I think with both of my homes/gardens, I would put a bed in here, one over there, etc.......and not really look at the entire piece of land as a whole canvas. I always admired the English and how they designed those old gardens where they take the entire land into account and figure where to put a wall of evergreens to bring you from a hot garden to a cool garden, or where a pond would go based on other gardens leading to/from it. Each "room" is part of a larger plan just like the interior of a house. I had never thought of my land from a birds-eye view, and how wandering through would "feel". Hope that makes sense! What a fun time you'll have with a blank slate. How exciting! |

Stanford rehired as DHDC director
By MATTHEW KENWRIGHT
By MATTHEW KENWRIGHT
Less than a year after Traci Stanford's departure from the Downtown Hays Development Corp., she has returned to replace her successor.
Stanford's second stint in the position was announced Monday. Megan Colson, who took over for Stanford in September, resigned from the group July 23, effective immediately.
Stanford left Hays because her husband, Jerrod, took a job in Jackson, Tenn. Following the news she was pregnant, they returned in March to be closer to home.
"I've always loved downtown Hays. So when the opportunity came up, my husband and I talked about it, and we decided it would be best for us," she said.
"Downtown Hays is my favorite thing about Hays, so I'm excited to be back on board and working for such a great environment that's down there and continuing to grow."
The new director aims to build on the group's success, move forward with brick-and-mortar projects, implement the nonprofit's new marketing plan and rebuild her rapport with downtown businesses.
Stanford said she was attached to the district as a college student and expects her enthusiasm to remain through her retirement years.
"I think downtown Hays is the heart of Hays," she said. "I think it has every range of business that you can think of from professionals to shopping, dining, art, entertainment. I think it adds the most quality of life to Hays."
The new director encouraged locals to support downtown.
"Shop local, eat local and spend local," she said. "Just continue to do those things, and we'll all succeed."
Stacey Smith, president of DHDC's board of directors, said hiring Stanford after Colson's resignation was the best thing for the group's future. The DHDC is on an "honest and true path," Smith said.
"All of our past directors that we've had have all made great contributions to DHDC. There may be that perception out there, but Megan is following some things that she wants to pursue, which is great, and we wish her the best," she said.
"We at DHDC, with where we want to go in the future ... we are very strong and confident with our vision for where DHDC wants to go, and we wanted to put the right person in place for that, and we feel we have put the right person in place for that."
Colson said she hopes the nonprofit continues to thrive.
"I think DHDC is very important to our community and our downtown moving forward, and I wish them the best of luck in the future," Colson said.
Regarding the search for a new director, Smith did not reveal how many candidates were interviewed.
"We've hired our director. We went through our sound process, and we found the right person to put in place. And right now, DHDC is ready to focus and move forward, and that's what we're looking for," she said. "We'll put one foot in front of the other and go forward."
Stanford is a "visionary" and will contribute to downtown's progress with her marketing ability, Smith said.
"She has a knowledge base, a skill set and a passion for downtown Hays that is hard to find," Smith said.
"She's prepared to do great things for DHDC and the downtown community, and she's got her pulse on what the future initiatives should be."
Stanford will lead the charge by fostering relationships with downtown merchants, helping add more businesses to the community and increasing traffic, Smith said.
Listening to businesses and recognizing the latest trends also will be her responsibilities.
"We want to be an advocate for downtown Hays," Smith said.
"We want to help it grow, and we definitely feel that she is the person that can take us there."
New branding, advertising, events and projects are all possibilities under the new marketing plan.

I love Madeleine! This weekend it's jumped up farther on my list because I realized it has all the letters of my sister's MN, just jumbled up (Eileen--madELEINE...). I seriously considered Eleni Madeleine, but I don't think the flow is very good. I still could use Madeleine, nn Eleni/Leni, but I just like Eleni more. I've thought about seeing if I can fit Madeleine somewhere else on my list. I really like it.
I haven't really asked for opinions in the "real world", but on baby name sites I've heard people complain about how much they prefer Madelyn/Madalyn because it's so much more obvious, and that they don't have a clue how to say Madeleine. Madeline? Mad-uh-LANE? Mad-uh-lyn? I don't see how it could be so complicated, lol, but I took French for two years and I love studying languages and names. I wrote the name down once at work, and I told my boss how to say it, because I figured it would be a problem, haha, and he was like, "Oh, okay." It wasn't his first thought (Madeline was), but it wasn't that big of a deal. I don't think it'd be a huge deal in real life, either...
Good luck!Ashley

Love the name, but don't like the popularity right now. I think your pronunciation is more typical so hopefully you will avoid pronunciation difficulties.

In every good mystery, there's a moment when the detective confronts the suspects to try and figure out which of them is the killer. But generally speaking, the suspects aren't powerful enough to fly you five miles straight up, rip off your limbs, and drop you into the Atlantic. That's the problem faced by Lieutenant Detective John Riley, when he finally comes face-to-face with the Protectors, one of whom may have murdered the Huntsman. Meanwhile, an autopsy on a woman presumed to have died in a boating accident reveals a grisly connection to the Protectors...

Subject : Sweet Salt 달콤한 소금
Director : Katerina Athanasopoulou (카테리나 아타나소풀로우)
ETC : UK, 2005, 6min 45sec, DVD, colorA love story of obsession and sharp teeth between a woman left behind in a fairy tale gone wrong and a merman trapped in a reality that drowns him. It seems that she is a hunter and he is a little shaking fish.
Katerina Athanasopoulou (카테리나 아타나소풀로우)
Katerina Athanasopoulou was born in Greece, where she studied Painting at the School of Fine Arts in Thessaloniki. During that time she started experimenting with cut-outs and video, realizing her love for the moving image. She moved to London and completed an Animation MA at the Royal College of Art in 2002. Since then, she's been busy making films, working as a designer and compositor and teaching. Her films lie between animation and live action and she loves to discover new ways of playing with still and moving images through complex, deep layering. Her animation has been shown in international festivals, the stage and art galleries.

I've been holding off on applying for a Delta Amex, mostly because I'm gardening, but partially because I dont use Delta as I live outside of the US.
However, I do frequently use another Skyteam Airline.
I was wondering if I signed up for an Amex Delta, if it would be possible to have the Delta Skymiles transferred to my other Skyteam account at signup.
I'm sure there are ways to transfer points, but I don't want to lose any miles, especially since they're both Skyteam members.

The Virginia State Board of Elections (SBE) is aware that some Virginia voters, particularly older Virginians, are receiving phone calls from unidentified individuals informing voters that they can vote over the phone.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos national survey, about 10 percent of likely voters have already cast ballots. And of those who have voted, Obama holds a sizable lead over Romney - 56 percent to 35 percent. The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of plus or minus about five percentage points.That contrasts with a much closer race according to polls of likely voters. There, the president holds just a slight edge of 46 percent to 43 percent in Tuesday's Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll.

Former Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT), during a hearing on voter fraud observed, "so the difference between ACORN and Sproul is that ACORN doesn't throw away or change registration documents after they have been filled out."

A traditional layout of kempt bent-grass fairways and greens, Wedgwood Country Club's gently rolling 18-hole course wends through a dense thicket of trees, bunkers, and ponds. Measuring 7,100 yards from the farthest tees, the par-72 course eases clubbers into the round with a relatively open front nine before testing their accuracy and squirrel diplomacy on a tight, tree-lined back nine. With four sets of tees, the course presents a par-hunting test to all players, from beginners to those who can wallop a drive more than 300 yards.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-72 course
Total length of 7,100 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 74.4 from the back tees
Slope rating of 133 from the back tees
Bent grass tees, greens and fairways
Four sets of tees per hole
Inflated structures, slides, and games fill the climate-controlled environs of the numerous BounceU locations that speckle the nation. At each site, staff members closely monitor all activities as little ones traverse obstacle courses or pull on oversized inflatable boxing gloves. The crew also invites parents to join in on the fun, letting them bounce alongside their kids or make sweeping edicts from atop a bouncy-castle throne.
In addition to open sessions, the indoor-play haven sets the stage for the Preschool Playdate program, where instructors lead games and activities. Special events include family-bounce night, which lets parents join in the bouncing or relax in the party room and do grownup things, such as eat marshmallows with a knife and fork.
Star Career Academy is staffed by many instructors who work at the academy's eight campuses. Students can also learn from professional chefs, such as Francesco Martorella, who specializes in incorporating unique ingredients in ethnic dishes, and earned a nod as one of the city's best new chefs. Star Career's offers training under a variety of umbrellas, from the culinary arts to medical services, including training for medical assistants, paramedics, and dialysis technicians. Founded in 1979, the academy has evolved to offer other programs, too, such as cosmetology and hospitality management.
Locally operated and family-owned, D&D Expositions produces popular trade shows and consumer events, including the Suburban Home & Garden Show, one of the top home-show events in the country. The company targets local retailers and consumers to create a community-based experience.
A group of resident ducks waddle across The Carriage House's grassy front yard, hoping to be fed a few crumbs as diners shuffle in to fill up on homestyle meals or shuffle out— delightfully sated—possibly with a purchased bag of duck food in hand. Interacting with the environment is just one of the pleasant surprises at the restaurant—where diners enjoy meals at tables in the main dining area or in one of the private rooms overlooking a lake while enjoying entrees such as deviled crab, veal parmigiana, or Delmonico steak.
Lunch and Friday-night dinner buffets feature discounted daily cuisine specials, and sunset dinners every Tuesday–Saturday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. feature lighter entree portions with soup, a salad, sides, and housemade desserts such as apple crisp or bread pudding. A traditional three-course afternoon tea service brings an air of yesteryear as guests dine on sandwiches and scones on fine china. Guests can also book party rooms for celebrations such as birthdays, baby showers, or bathing in presents.

Towson, Maryland (April 5, 2014) – On Saturday morning, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and an enthusiastic crowd of dog lovers cut the ribbon on a great new community amenity, the Perry Paw Dog Park at Honeygo Run Regional Park in Perry Hall. This newly completed dog park offers dog owners a safe, secure place to let their pets run free and enjoy the company of other dogs.
"As an animal lover, I understand that pets are a part of the family and I am very proud that we are able to manage the fiscal resources of our County wisely to invest in quality of life improvements like this all across Baltimore County," said Kamenetz. "I really appreciate the efforts of the Perry Paw Dog Park Committee to raise $20,000 towards what is already a very popular attraction at the park."
The $205,000 fenced dog park dog park includes a .34 acre area for small dogs and a 1.06 acre area for larger breeds. It features a key card entry system for members, doggie water fountains, porous concrete walkways for Americans With Disabilities Act access, benches, six-foot vinyl coated fencing around the perimeters, trash containers and a dog waste collection unit.
"This is the first of three park projects that will be finished over the next two years in Perry Hall," said 5th District Councilman David Marks. "I would like to commend County Executive Kamenetz for his strong support of this project, but also the volunteers who raised tens of thousands of dollars in private donations. This is a happy day for animal lovers in Baltimore County."
Perry Paw Dog Park Committee
The park is operated by the Perry Paw Dog Park Committee, which sets the operating rules and regulations, coordinates paid memberships and oversees the daily operations of the park. This group raised $20,000 in funds to contribute toward construction of the dog park.
"We have so much to be grateful for here in Perry Hall. The addition of this beautiful park is just one of the many wonderful things our County Executive has accomplished," said Perry Paw Dog Park Committee Co-Chair Barb Waskiewicz. "Perry Paw Dog Park will serve this community of dog lovers in a most positive way. This is a very good time to live in Perry Hall! The committee has waited a long time for this day and now our dogs will have a beautiful safe place to run and play."
Fourth Dog Park in the County
Perry Paw Dog Park is the fourth dog park in the County, with similar parks operating at St. Helena Park in Dundalk, Robert E. Lee Park in Mt. Washington and Hannah More Park in Reisterstown.

We are going with the ornamental giallo granite which is very similar to santa cecilia. Wondering if anyone has a similar granite with the blanco siligranite sink in biscuit. Ready to order the sink and having panic attacks, I pray it is the right choice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sorry but I don't have pictures to help you. I too am considering similar granite colors though and will eventually have to make the same decision you are making now. Bring on the panic attacks! What color are your cabinets and floors? |
Cabinets are off white and the floor is a toffee maple. Very warm colors. |
I got the darker biscotti, rather than biscuit. Can't get the photo right now, but it should also go. |

I found that Kinect has a great potential to become not just a gaming exprience enhancer (subjective) but also becoming the new "mouse" or "touch screen", and change the way we look at user interfaces
I was wondering then if it is possible, technically, and legally to create drivers for the Kinect sensor for the PC. I would imagine many applications (desktop and web) that will be used with it, such as minority report like interfaces, social 3D chats, and even remote "robotic" controls
So my questions are
- Is it Technically possible?
- Was it already done or in process?
- Is it legal to develop such a driver?

General Knicks
Credit Glen Grunwald; This Knicks Team Is Deep
For much of the last decade, the New York Knicks have been a franchise marred by poor executive decisions, mainly stemming from the ownership of James Dolan and his relationship with Isiah Thomas.
Melo's Offense Has Changed… For The Better
To say the Knicks are playing on all cylinders doesn't do justice to how incredibly the team has performed. The defense has been tremendous, as the team currently leads the league in opponent's points allowed (87.5), opponent's field goal percentage (41%) and defensive efficiency (95.7). While the numbers and rankings may be a major surprise,… More
Three Man Weave: Knicks D, Point Guard Play and The New Melo
With the NBA's and Knicks' season in full swing, the time has come for the return of TheKnicksWall's "Three Man Weave" column. This week, we're taking a look at the Knicks top rated defense, the play of their three-headed monster at point guard and the change in the overall play of Carmelo Anthony
Simply Put, Ronnie Brewer Has Been Superb
Coming into the season, Ronnie Brewer at one year of the veteran's minimum salary looked like a good pickup, but we didn't really know how good until now. Four games in, and Brewer has already played a crucial role in the Knicks' success this season. Not only is his on-ball defense superb, but watching him… More
Three Games In, Things Are Going Very Well
After San Antonio lost last night, the New York Knicks became the lone undefeated team in the league. They've been scoring an impressive 104.7 points per game, good for third in the league, and giving up just 85.3 points per game, good for first in the league. Their 19.4 points differential is insane – almost… More
Iman Shumpert Shows Off Knicks' Winter League Jerseys

MTV Cribs, Rasheed Wallace Style

The J.R. Smith Rules
The following list of rules details what J.R. Smith should and should not be doing on the basketball court for the New York Knicks this season, if he wishes to only benefit the team on their path to success.
A New Scoring Option for Anthony as a Four
With Carmelo Anthony set to play the power forward against opposing teams that run a small ball lineup while Amar'e Stoudemire is out for a good chunk of the regular season, I want to look at the possibility of the Knicks running multiple pick-and-rolls as well as pick-and-pops between Raymond Felton and Carmelo throughout each… More

New & Ongoing Projects |
GISCorps Team is assisting NetHope with their West Africa Ebola Outbreak Mission NetHope requested the assistance of GISCorps to support their West Africa Ebola Response activities. Volunteers are assisting with locating information and communication technology needs in Ebola affected regions of West Africa, currently Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. The data and derivatives are being created for internal use as well as to share back to their participating NGOs and the greater humanitarian community. Five volunteers have been recruited for the project. They are: DeAnna Hohnhosrt, Elizabeth Dow, Katie Mayr, Melodie Grubbs, and Carol Kraemer, the project coordinator. Recruitment complete, work in progress GISCorps crowdsource project documents coastal changes due to Hurricane Sandy The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) asked GISCorps for a group of volunteers to take part in a pilot study for the crowdsource project called iCoast - Did the Coast Change? This web application asks volunteers to identify changes to the coast by comparing and tagging aerial photographs taken before and after storms. This data will help USGS scientists improve the accuracy of USGS coastal change prediction models and vulnerability assessments that support pre-storm planning and post-storm rescue, recovery, and mitigation efforts. Volunteers will classify photos taken before and after Hurricane Sandy using the tools built into the iCoast website. Recruitment complete, work in progress A team of 15 volunteers digitizing features in Malawi The Southern parts of Malawi along the Lower Shire river (that connects Lake Malawi and Zambezi River in Mozambique) are frequently flooded and affects the villages of farmers around. The national Department of Disaster Management Affairs in Malawi - DoDMA and GFDRR agreed about the necessity to have detailed data of the region, through a community mapping in the field that could be used to build hazard impact scenarios with tools like InaSafe in order to improve the planning, preparedness and response activities. Therefore, 15 GISCorps volunteers joined the project and started digitizing and cleansing the mapping already done in the region. The project is in partnership with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap (HOT), and Department of Disaster Management Affairs in Malawi - DoDMA , GFDRR. Recruitment complete, work in progress Remote Sensing Specialist working on Mimika Land Rights Project in West Papua Mimika Land Rights is a project of Forensic Architecture and Goldsmiths University. They requested the assistance of a Remote Sensing Specialist for selecting, processing, and analyzing remotely sensed data. The recruitment resulted in selecting Mike Alonzo, a PhD student at University of Santa Barbara. He is now in contact with the partner agency. Recruitment complete, work in progress Two GISCorps volunteers will be teaching GIS & Remote Sensing in Uganda The Department of Environment and Natural Resources at Kabale University (KAB) in south western Uganda requested GISCorps volunteer(s) to teach GIS/Remote Sensing to their faculty members. KAB intends to establish a GIS centre including training departmental staff in aspects of GIS/Remote sensing with specific focus on: Database management systems, ArcGIS, open source GIS such as QGIS, ENVI and any other programs that may be relevant to successful implementation of the GIS centre. Two volunteers were selected for this project and will be in Uganda from March to May 2015. They are Joey Abrams, a Senior Systems Analyst with the SI Organization in Virginia and Adam McKay, a Data Analyst with Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care in Toronto, Canada. Recruitment complete, work in progress Two volunteers assisting a GSDI project in Ecuador Daniel Mihalov, a GIS Technician from Illinois and Santiago Gonzalez Arriola, a GIS Analyst from Montréal, Canada are assisting researchers at the University of Cuenca and the University of Azuay in Ecuador, the University of Republic in Uruguay, and the Bogotá Spatial Data Infrastructure (IDECA) in Colombia in their study of the implementation of recent SDI trends in the Latin American region. These institutions are supported by the PanAmerican Institute for Geography and History (PAIGH) and they applied to the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) for volunteer assistance from GISCorps. The research includes identification of indicators, specifications, and best practices in other SDI efforts around the world that allow assessing the impact of the SDI trends in Latin American Society. Recruitment complete, work in progress Volunteer developing map products for NACHHO The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) naccho.org was in need of GIS services related to the 2014 Ebola outbreak. The outbreak has implications for local health departments and the communities they serve throughout the continental U.S. As part of NACCHOs support for local health departments, they requested several related mapping products. Ian Dunn, a Software Specialist with the City of Perrysburg in Ohio was recruited for this project and has been working with NACHHO representatives. Recruitment complete, work in progress Five volunteers giving GISCorps website a facelift! GISCorps website was designed a number of years ago and is in need of a facelift. Carol Kraemer, one of our Core Committee members took responsibility to assemble a team of volunteers to migrate the website from Joomla to Word Press. In order to make that a reality, she recruited four other volunteers who have started the initial conversations. They are: Tommy Burke, Eric Peña, Paul Hoeffler, and Eric Stoycon. Recruitment complete, work in progress GISCorps volunteers supporting Search & Rescue team in Alaska The Alaska Incident Management Team Search and Rescue (AIMT-SAR) requested the assistance of Alaska based GIS Specialists who are interested and willing to provide their services to the AIMT. Two volunteer responded to the call. They are: Tricia Littlejohn and Robert Mikol. They are in contact with AIMT representatives.

Social club artefact Wednesday - Phillips NSL flag
The Dutch electronic giant Philips was of course the NSL's inaugural major sponsor, and the highlights show which was on Channel 10 at the time was suitably called Philips Top Soccer. In his mostly excellent autobiography By The Balls, Les Murray, who was both a commentator and host for the show, details the show's brief history (including how he went from László Ürge to Les Murray because of it). It's well worth picking up a copy of that book.
Of course, once Philips Top Soccer got canned and the NSL disappeared off the airways until SBS picked it up (fun fact - SBS' first game was the infamous 1980 NSL 'grand final' which Heidelberg tries to claim counts as a national title - it wasn't), Philips weren't getting the brand promotion they were paying for, and decided to end their association with the NSL.

Much like some South people within the club ( and 'traditionalists' in general) like to claim the 1993 minor premiership as a TRUE title.
Its a ridiculous notion that, because you do not like the rules, you make up your own!
I believe that thinking indirectly led to our most embarrasing moment in my time as a supporter. The 7-Nil thumping at the hands of Marconi in the semi final!

Pomegranates have always been near and dear to my heart. As a kid growing up, my parents use to have about an 8' shrubby area, filled with pomegranates, probably 8' or 10' tall. Each year, it produced hundreds of pomegranates, and I was the only one in the household that would eat them. I ate them at the sour stage before they fully ripened and remember sometimes munching on them and spitting out the seeds all day long lol. I'm very surprised the seeds didn't sprout all over the place!
My aunt use to get bags full of them when she came down from out of state. They were her favorite fruit. She was so excited to get them, almost tripping over herself running for the tree. Anyway, the only variety of pomegranates I've tried were 'wonderful' and I would like to try some new varieties but really don't want to pay $18-$30 for a 6-12" plant. If anyone has any varieties other than 'wonderful' that they wouldn't mind putting in an envelop and sending me, I would really appreciate it. I can do a SASE (or paypal the shipping cost) or send some 'wonderful' pomegranate cuttings for trade. Please message me if you'd like to help me out! Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:

They are easy to grow from cuttings. I ordered Palermo and Wonderful from UC Davis, stuck them in 1 part peat and 3 parts pearlite, kept it damp but not soaking, and most of them have many leaves and branches. It took about two weeks for any leaves to show. Out of 10 cuttings, 3 haven't leafed yet, but I am hoping they do! Why do I hope this? Insurance! I only want a couple, really, but nice to have backup just in case! |

HA room locations at Kidani
Can anyone tell me whereabouts the room locations for the Savannah views are (2 bedroom) at Kidani? I am just hoping it is not to far from the main lobby.
Accessible rooms are scattered all over the resort.
If you want to be close to the lobby, that would be something you would make as your request. You also will want to specify - do you want it close to the DVC lobby or the Jambo House lobby? They are pretty far apart. |

Love These
Just received my Neria this week. I wear an 8 to 81/2 in regular shoes but order my crocs in a size 9. These are not too big for me. In fact I have a high instep and at first I didn't think I would be able to wear these with socks, but I can (and they are not thin socks). They are snug around the middle of my foot because of my instep and the way the shoes are made, but they are not uncomfortable. I did not find them to be bigger than any of my crocs. I wish they had been a tiny bit wider.

Oh, what to do! I assume you have been to WDW at least once if not many times. The good neighbor hotels will save you a lot of money, the Disney hotels are just that, Disney hotels! You get in an hour early at one park per day too.
You have to mkae sure to ride everything that isn't at WDW. So... the Indiana Jones ride, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, see Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, Snow White's Grotto, um Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, um the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters where you can pick up the gun and aim, sailing ship Columbia umm Pinocchio's Daring Journey and I am sure I forgot something from Disneyland. Now at California Adventure you have a ton of stuff to ride all of Cars Land and a ton else like the Alladin show and the Monster's Inc. ride. By fall 2014 there may be more to do than now!

.- The Pontifical Council for the Family has published a book compiling ethical questions related to family and marriage that have been addressed by bishops during courses promoted by the dicastery around the world.
The book, published in Italian and entitled "The Family and Ethical Questions," is the first in a series of three books that will confront moral issues related to family and marriage.
In the introduction, Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, president of the Council, writes that during these courses, the more than 1,200 bishops who participated reflected on "the central themes of the pastoral mission in terms of the family and life and pastoral ethical questions."
"The twenty-five years of the pontificate of John Paul II, successor of Peter and the Pope of the family and of life," writes Cardinal Lopez Trujillo, "have given a global and historical dimension to the questions addressed in this volume and in future editions. For this reason, we want this publication to be a tribute to the universal pastor, example of closeness and passionate concern for the family, the domestic Church and sanctuary of life."
The Council has announced that the book will be published in other languages as well.

Some sort of portable bed for DVC?
We will not be exceeding the max amount of people in a 1 bedroom, but the make-up of guests puts one person on the pull out, a married couple in the king and a 10 year old child ideally on a portable bed of sorts in the parents room. Any ideas what kind of bed might be easy to use and easy to pack. We're not against shipping something down to Orlando if that's reasonable...:3dglasses
Twin sized Aero bed works fine. We have one that we take when we stay in non-DVC resorts. My 18 yr old 6'3" son fits on it fine. My husband slept on in when he went to a marathon with his friend and his family. He got the Aero bed and friend and family got the beds. He slept fine.
Just be aware that the blow up bed may not fit inside all the 1 br masters. I can't imagine it would have fit in our 1 br at Blt.
I agree with PP, not all masters will fit an aero. We have one of these that we've used for the same purpose as you have suggested. It collapses into a fairly small package. :goodvibes
we have used a twin aero in the master at okw, no problem, we also had a renovated unit at okw that had a chair that made into a single bed in okw last time we were there
sharon |
We'll be staying in a 1 bedroom at the Boardwalk....I think the room will support a twin size aero or similiar.....right?
Denise in MI |
We fit one in our one Bedroom BLT, it fit by the sliding door, we just picked it up everyday and leaned it on a wall.
I'm thinking there will be enough room between the bed and the door to the balcony...would hate to actually step on a child to use the bathroom....BUT I WILL IF I HAVE TO!
If you are flying SW out of Greene you should be able to pack a portable air bed and the necessary sheets lightweight blanket etc in a rolling duffle and check it through on the plane. We did this several times and it worked out great. I say that since SW does not have those extra baggage fees. If you are going to have a car you could purchase an inexpensive one and a pump at Walmart down there for what it would cost to ship it.
Either way, it might be a bit of a challenge for the person on the aero side of the bed to get out of bed & to the bathroom without stepping on the child or the bed. But it can work - Just bring a night light or leave the light on in room with the shower and the doors slightly open. |
We have put a twin aerobed in the master at BWV and VWL. Put it by the balcony doors. Never an issue getting up, there's no footboard so you can slid out in front of the bed.

Oncomine and Oncomine Concepts Map Integral in Expression and Association
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on an earlier study that used Oncomine(TM) to identify ETS-fusion proteins in prostate cancer (Science, Oct 28 2005), Tomlins et al. today report the identification of four additional classes of ETS rearrangements in prostate cancer, each of which activates ETV1 by a different genetic mechanism (Nature, Aug 2 2007).

Tomlins et al. queried the Oncomine database to determine the tissue specificity of three of the new fusion gene partners, demonstrating that two new partners are prostate cancer specific while the third partner is a generally over-expressed 'house-keeping' gene. In addition, Oncomine Concepts Map was applied to test for similarities between the set of genes regulated by ETV1 with sets of genes related to other biological concepts. This analysis revealed a clear association between ETV1 activation and cellular invasion, a hallmark of cancer.
Oncomine, a dynamic repository that combines rich data, sophisticated analysis, and responsive user interface, empowers oncology research by bringing data analysis tools to a large cancer gene expression database, which includes data from 20,000+ microarray experiments curated from 300+ independent studies. Oncomine Concepts Map, an extension of Oncomine, is a compilation of nearly 8,000 Oncomine cancer gene signatures together with 11,500 gene, protein, drug, and pathway signatures collected from the literature and other public sources.
"This study marks an important advance in our understanding of the
molecular basis of prostate cancer. Oncomine again proved invaluable in
examining the expression of genes in cancer, and in this case aided in the
characterization of n

Kishin also spots this rather huge patch of green in a desert otherwise foliage-deprived. Then he advises us to "stop being mesmerized by 'crazy stuff on the interwebs oooooo.' Go outside or do something productive. I know I am!"
